Yeah I know... Ford Corporate has been known to cheap out here and there.

I just did exactly this ACM - to - HD radio ACM swap today, along with some repositioning of my JL 280/4 channel 50 watt amplifier hidden within the guts of the center dash. It's nice to have HD radio again, now that my XLT's speakers are upgraded and the little JL 280 amp is installed. This...

I had this very thing go BLOOOEY on my old Mach E Mustang, when the fluid in the front motor leaked internally through the motor seals. The techs showed me the orange motor connector when they took that motor out under warranty, and the fluid was visibly oozing through the orange connector's...

This might or might not apply to Your decision, but here's one more bit of Winter EV info... EVs by their nature lack an internal heat source i.e. a gasoline / diesel engine water jacket to draw heat from for the cabin. I learned this the hard way with my high-trim Mach E Mustang with its huge...

I just LOVE Your TinTin avatar! It made me smile thru my morning coffee :clap:

Ditto. Just did an 8-week+, 9,300+ mile coast-to-coast trip this past Summer, over mountains and across deserts and all that... while towing a teardrop. Did a similar although much shorter camping trip with younger kids in tow the Summer of 2024. I drive this truck all the time, all over...

My 2023 XLT Option 312A seems to have taken this successfully, as described above. I had a "0" and a "0" and changed to "2" and "C".

Nah... standard EU specification Lightning mirrors.

FYI can You pls pass the e-address of the guy in Poland You got the TCU from? I am looking for some Euro-spec F150 outside mirrors which have a better blind spot visibility system... I have imported some previously for my Mach E Mustang, and for my Fusion / Mondeo prior to that, but it's very...

For sure You would have done better. Physics is physics and wind resistance i.e. drag is drag. Pretty much no matter what the fuel is, including hydrazine... the different fuels' energy simply adjusts the ratio of range loss. I find that when towing with my ER Lightning, about 60 - 63 MPH is...

"Highway speeds" can mean 55 - 60 MPH, or 80 - 85 MPH. These two speed ranges will return wildly different juice consumption rates while towing pretty much anything.

This is close to what we get towing our teardrop at the lower highway speed limits.

+1. I added my emphasis above.

I had BlueCruise including BC 1.2 on my higher-trim Mach E. I don't have it on my XLT Option 312 Lightning, mainly by my choice because I learned to not ever have a pano / moon glass roof on an electric vehicle (Winter driving = much higher traction battery use to heat cabin which then goes...

All you have to do in that case is to turn off the 30-minute OFF timer in the Sync, and turn on SILENT MODE. The truck will silently and pretty invisibly "run" for days and days. You can lock it too while it's doing all this.

I used this Brigade Electronics directional Shhh Shhh sound (no piezo beep!) on my last several gasoline cars, to good effect and without causing annoyance to others. It's a simple bolt-on to any metal bolt in the rear, and a wire tap into the reverse light... an easy - peasy installation if...

Ain't nuthin' wrong with a Mach E! Good taste!

For what it's worth, I've thought for a good while now that Ford Corporate uses electronically coded features like the glare-free headlights to distinguish between trim levels... Ford and Lincoln sedans of the recent past come to mind, for example the Lincoln had activated features whereas the...

Got my 1953 Ford Lightning hood emblem, thanks to this thread. Oh Damn but this thing is big! A true 1950s hood emblem :clap: Now where to mount it. .. on hood crest or off-center on the tailgate? Hmmm...
